13 Australians face death penalty in Iraq

Thirteen Australians transferred from Syria to Iraq could face the death penalty, including Tareq Kamleh, known as "Dr Jihad," who was until recently thought to be dead.

The group was transferred as part of a broader operation dealing with foreign fighters.

Their cases have raised concerns about the potential application of the death penalty.
